GDT: Game # 64 - Rangers @ Devils - 7pm EST - MSG (Star Fox edition)

[CommaSynapse]

The frustrating part is that the capability is there. Second period was just pure laziness. Torts would get a 60 minute effort or there'd be a benching.

Just imagine a world...
...where guys like K'Andre and Fil use their size to check.
...where McKegg stays on the bench.
...where Reaves isn't out there when the team needs a goal.
...where our defense keeps the crease clear and doesn't let them poke loose pucks in over and over.
...where Panarin plays a 200-ft. game to the best of his ability.

 

[Harbour Dog]

That makes me mad. What did he do?

Garbage time is when you give players like Lafreniere minutes to see what they can do.

He never did anything to deserve it. Was no worse than everybody else in the 2nd.

 

[JHS]

i was on the AV train for a full 2 years before i turned on him. I liked Quinn for year 1. Gallant has been a disappointment since opening night.

Yeah because basically taking the team that could not do anything under Quinn and making them into a top 3 team in the conference with only role player additions in the off season of a “disappointment.” Please try and have some perspective and appreciation for what he’s accomplished this season.

 

[LokiDog]

So Nemeth finished with the third most minutes of any player. Laf with the second least, just 20 seconds more than Reaves. Good coaching. You definitely need more Nemeth and less Laf when trailing by 3.

 

[Peltz]

Easy to panic here but it’s only one game. I will say, watching Vetrano now for these past few games he has a fatal flaw in his game. Every time he receives the puck his feet stop moving. He’s already been caught from behind a few times. He’s not going to be effective on that line with these tendencies.

I don’t like his game at all to be honest.

 

[mas0764]

Imo, this is something that needed to happen, we needed to get embarassed. Hopefully they feed off this

Hope so, because they continue to have far, far too many nights where they don’t even play like a playoff team other than the goalie and the PP. Tonight they had none of it and were embarrassed by a bottom feeder.

 

[Doctyl]

Like I dont LOVE this team, but this is easily the most fun and watchable team we have had in 7 years

The team also looked great before Covid and were red hot with tons of comeback wins....they too also had brain dead games. Its in the DNA of this core and their was a sliver of hope Gallant fixed it. Then we sit and watch a young kid get benched when the Vets throw the game away and its bad deja vu.

I hate this obsession with shitty “tough” vets instead of skilled youth. I f***ing hate it.

eh, we've been embarassed a few times already this season. this was completely unnecessary.

 

[Daves a mess]

We have big problems with waterbug teams that OutSkate us. Colorado, Vegas, Jersey, Florida

And in your face teams that lean on you like Calgary and St. Louis

 

[Abooch68]

I still don’t understand why the first goal was allowed the wasnt challenged

Gallant for hart

 

[Synergy27]

Settle down...we played like shit, but I think it's accurate to say that was the catalyst.

The catalyst was the god awful doing too much giveaway that Fox made. Refs were fine.

 

[common12]

Nemeth still sucks. At what point do you stop replacing the players he plays with and replace him?

 

[Boris Zubov]

Believe me, I wasn't blaming the refs....just stated the wheels fell off after that goal. The refs didn't do Igor any favors there, however.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

Such a Rangers move. Get a ton of praise for the moves the GM made at the deadline *Immediately shit the bed*.

Hey, we played a good first period. What more did you want?

 

[gabevh3]

Wake the eff up Panarin, holy hell.

He looked inured way before the collusion. He was dragging his feet and bending down. Was laboring

 

[Kovalev27]

I still don’t understand why the first goal was allowed the wasnt challenged

Because Shesterkin dropped another puck

First three goals were terrible. Two really bad rebounds and couldn’t find subbans shot

The 4th also terrible and the disallowed one he stops in his sleep 10 out of 10 times.

But I like said even when pucks were hitting him or going wide he had zero clue none where the pucks were going. Just absolutely lost

 

[Good Intentions]

We need to fire our development personal. Yes, even Benoit Allaire.

Good goaltending has bastardized this organzlization for far too long.

You’re all alone on this one.

 

[Good Intentions]

Correct - he was. Something is up.

 

[Ruggs225]

So laf on 4th line… wtf

He plays a good first creates offense and then is demoted.

Like why does gallant hate him

 

[RagFinMet]

Well Fox's TO turned the tide...
He has too many this year
As has Pan
Laf was great 1st period but horrible in the 2nd but almost everyone was
He just stood there as they scored the first goal in front of the net. He's gotta tie up the guy's stick
Vatrano wasn't good
I liked motte
Goodrow had lapses in the d zone as well
Reaves has to ride the pine
Copp is the C we been waiting for
Nem braun are too slow to be partners
They got trapped. Thought the game was won and be a breeze...

 

[Brutananadilewski]

You’re all alone on this one.

Outside of Kreider (Especially this season), have we had our own offensive draft pick crack 60 points?
